GOOD Morning Britain's Ben Shephard is sending "lots of love" to co-star Kate Garraway after she pulled out of hosting this week to be at her ill husband Derek Draper's bedside.
Former political adviser Derek nearly died multiple times from Covid complications during his two year battle with the illness and has been receiving round the clock care at home as he continues his recovery.
However, his condition has taken a turn for the worst and he is now back in hospital. Speaking on today's GMB, Ben said: "We are missing a member of the team, aren't we?" Charlotte Hawkins replied: "We are, yeah.
So Kate's taken some time out to be with Derek at the moment so we are sending lots of love. Lots of you have been in touch with messages of support, so we wish him well." Ben added: "Thanks very much for your messages of support, you know how much Kate appreciates all the support she gets, and fingers crossed Derek will be home as soon as possible." .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-1czxmma{background-color:rgba(252,239,255,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px.
